WASHING T N LAUDED "FATHER OP HIS COUNTRY' JAMES MOTTS TOPIC The hand of providence has guided the United States through crises, but whether democratic Jameil'W. tlolf; o? AltoHa, mem ber of the house of representatives of the Oregon legislature, and candidate for congressman against Willis O. Hawley of Salem, told members of the Kiwanis club at yesterday's luncheon. Historical critics cannot explain how the thirteen colonies were able to wrest freedom from Eng land, then the greatest military power In the world, but all are agreed that without George. Wash ington, it could not have been ac complished. Free government has failed In Italy, Russia, Spain, and Turkey, and unless the people participate more freely, there Is grave danger that it will fall in this country, he said. The great middle class of people have failed to aprpeciate that par ticipation in government brings benefits to the participants, de clared Mott. Big business has re alized it, and big business has ben efited. So has organized labor which achieved through legisla tion, the eight-hour day, collective bargaining, and other progressive steps, bringing the laboring man from a condition approaching chattel slavery to a dignified place in national politics. George Washington was more than a hero, a military leader, and statesman, declared Mott. People have reserved for him a more tender, comprehensive, and en dearing term that of "Father of his country." His mission in life was to execute a new ideao of gov ernment, and then to give that government a policy and a place among nations of the earth at a time when free government was not in existence. He was a liber ator and founder, universally re spected and looked upon wjth high regard, said Mott. Whether the states were a na tion, however, was uncertain until the civil war, and here the situa tion produced another great man Abraham Lincoln. "Of all men. Washington includ ed, none is held in greater esteem and love than Lincoln," said Mott. "His life was a series of contradic tions. Though an unschooled man. he achieved the pinnacle of Eng lish prose in the Gettysburg ad dress with a minimum of politi cal experience, he became the country's greatest statesman."

It is a free for all. and everybody has a chance to enter for this prize. This does not interfere ijn any way with any grand prize at the close of the contest. You can win both if you try. Remember that the votes se cured these three weeks count on the regular prize at the end of the contest. Possibly a very few subscriptions turned in these three weeks will win this special prize. It is worth the effort on the part of every one. Now is the time for new candi dates to come in and win this spec ial prize. It is a big one and worthy of anybody's spare time for the next three weeks. Gladys MacDonald and B. L. Holland tie for the leadership to day, with Beulah Wltzel and Nina Williams only a few rotes behind. Gladys stepped out to see some of her farmer friends and It is no secret that she succeeded tn get ting some of them Interested. She is to be congratulated on her suc cess. Rome- Good Workers Hazel McMorris is one of the real go getters In the contest, and her ability as a saleslady is im proving every day. She has a wonderfully pleasing manner and every day she finds more reasons why people should subscribe to The Statesman. She is doing good work and merits her friends' sup port and their very best co-oper ation. One of the real lively candidates is Delores McKinnon. Since enter ing the contest a short time ago he has made a wonderful show ing. Delores is well liked In her community and her friends are all voting for her. Her father is an old time resident and la well and favorably known. His favorite past time is making bows and ar rows for archery and hunting pur poses. Mr. McKinnon Is fast be coming famous as a specialist In the art of manufacturing yew wood bows, so we sincerely hope that Delores and her father will keep up the good work. It will be very pleasing for friends of Mae Young to know that she Is up on the honor rolL She Is very popular among her friends and the general public. She is making a strenuous effort to be successful in this contest. Her merits as a subscription getter are exceptional. She Is doing wonder fully well and deserves the co-op eration of all her friends. We must also take oar hats off to Doris Barnett. She Is a real wide awake girl, and we don't mean maybe. One of her friends, when he heard she was in the con test, drove home four miles and back again to write his neighbor a subscription. Keep it up, Doris, you won't need to crank much more, as all our cars have self- starters. Mott To Start Campaign Early In March, States James W.

C W ES OR UN ES E T R t QUERY Today Among Veterans It's "Do You Belong To the American Legion?" One of the many unsung battles of what was referred to as the "unpleasantness" of 1918, occur red at Idora park, "somewhere in Oakland." There were others like it, but some Salem ex-service men remember this one in particular. The reason that it has not been chronicled in history Is that this battle was fought between civil ians and service men, and the thing that precipitated hostilities was the fact that the boys in uni form were stealing the civilians' girls. That was the time when a young man in "civvies" felt un comfortable anyway, what with suspicious glances directed at him and admiring ones aimed at the boys In olive drab and blue. Does the passing of time make thinks less Important, or do they just seem less Important? Today nobody asks men in their thirties "what did you do In the World war?" Sons and grandsons may ask it some day as they were pic tured doing at the time, but the general public never will. But the boys who were in It ask each other today, "Do you be long to the American Legion?" And that is Just as important a question to them today as was the matter of a uniform or civvies 10 years ago. Following is a continuation of the daily list of American Legion members in the Salem post: Glenn Longren, Harry M. Levy, Dr. Geo. E. Lewis, Harry Lewis, I I. W. Lewis, B. C. Lieuallen, A. O.
